Natalie HUTCHINS (Sydenham – Minister for Education, Minister for Women) (09:49): I rise in recognition of national Principals Day, which will be celebrated tomorrow, Friday 4 August. The outstanding work of principals and assistant principals deserves to be celebrated. They play a pivotal role in achieving the statewide excellence that we have in teaching and learning across our schools. In my electorate of Sydenham I have seen firsthand remarkable and tireless contributions from our government school principals that make a difference to our school communities. A huge thankyou to the principal teams at Deanside Primary, Mackellar Primary, Taylors Hill Primary, Taylors Lakes Primary, Parkwood Green Primary School, Springside Primary School, Sydenham-Hillside Primary, Copperfield College, Taylors Lakes Secondary and Springside West Secondary College. Your contribution and growth for the future planning of our school communities is absolutely valued – leading your teams and supporting them to ensure that students are equipped with the skills they need for the best possible future. I want to make sure that you know that your work does not go unnoticed and that your ongoing leadership is appreciated.
